It isn't just the Nazis. Every country that has committed massive democide (look it up if you don't know what it means) disarmed their populations, first. Over 100+ million democides in the 20th century, alone. Easy Peasy. The 100+ million couldn't fight back against tyrannical governments.

I can tell you're not a student of history.

Well, it has to do with scale, population, and crimes involving guns as a percentage of population.

Why is this so hard for you to understand?
Because the world was a very different place in 1939!! Good lord you think 30'000 people dying every year 'just in case' Adolf Hitler comes back around is worth it!!! Besides even if Donald Trump suddenly became the same as Adolf Hitler and decided to kill everybody with the first name Pedro how do you think you and your 'buddies' will do in fighting him off!?

250 times more likely IS to do with percentages NOT population but if it makes you feel any better if we increase the 70 or so by 5 1/2 to take the population difference into account it gives us 385? Lets be generous and round it up to 400. So 'taking into account the difference in population' 400 people are shot to death every year and in the US its 30'000 + (notice the +). Doesn't make things look any better really does it?
